The State of California, have invented certain top of the sleeve 14 being open allows the new and useful Improvements in Extractors, material to fall therethrough onto the cone 9. of which the following is a specification. Radial baffle plates 16 are secured to the 60 My invention is an improved extractor, sleeve 14 to prevent the rotation of the sand particularly useful in the separation of line in the bucket 5. A trough 17 is mounted gold from sand, and crushed ore. on the outside of the bucket 5 and a drain The present invention is an improvement 18 leads therefrom to carry the sand away on my Patent No. 1,361,489. falling into the trough 17.

The apex of the end of said pipe and being mounted concencone is in the center of the bucket 5 and trically therewith, a trusto conical sleeve below an opening 10 in a bucket cover 11. positioned around and spaced from said separator cone, a flnrality of plates on said sleeve extending inwardly to engage said cone and a plurality of baflle plates on said sleeve extending outwardly therefrom to the sides 01": the receptacle.

5. An extractor comprising a. supply pipe ending in a discharge orifice, a receptacle into which said pipe projects, a sleeve memher therein mounted concentric with said supply pipe discharge orifice, and sets of w radial battle plates on said sleeve extending inwardly therefrom and outwardly thereof for preventing rotation of material Within the receptacle.
